widened fenders on SuperBeetles

[NYBugman1972]

In my opinion, wide super fronts are pretty hard to pull off. Alpha C pulled it off. I think it has to do with the fact that all chrome is painted over and the bumper is widened to match, and it's pretty low. Also, Old Style/911 headlight buckets look pretty good on wide front supers. Kinda draws attention upward in addition to outward.

Rears are a different story. I love wide rear fenders (a la 930 turbo). I have Creative Car Craft's 1 1/4" wider fenders in the back. They even out with the front fenders and really square up all the lines. In retrospect I would have gone to 2" or so, but the 1 1/4" wider looks just about stock, you can't tell unless you see a stock car. The only thing I didn't do is widen the bumper. Instead, I lengthened my bumper brackets. I may do that one day, but im happy with the way it is now.
